[@GPiniella]

I was 15 and saw this at a drive-in theatre, needless to say in the surrounding darkness it scared the hell out of me! Just wanted to say the first will always (as others) be a master piece. It was such a independent, low budget and no known actors at the time. A lot of people didn't even know Jaimie Lee was related to Janet Leighs' iconic "Pyscho". Also, it took years for me to read and piece together HOW Michael and Laurie were siblings. SPOILER: After the killings, Michael was locked up, Laurie was adopted giving her the name STRODE. WHY? He supposedly remembered seeing her when she went to the Old Myers house and put the key there. Don't believe that he knew it was his sister, but being catatonic pyscho, he visually remembered her & chose to victimize her thereon. Also, The movie was first shown to execs without music and they didn't like it! Carpenter then quickly improvised and came up with the score and history was made. I read, the music is so eerie as he uses an atypical rhythm patter along with an off key sound. As you can see its mostly the same baseline, its just the added effects that make it so dramatic. The movie s first release got MEDIOCRE reviews but it wasn't until a few years that reruns on HALLOWEEN made it a CLASSIC CULT movie. Carpenter was truly talented and I would compare him to hitchcock any day! Sorry for so long, I've just been a avid fan and I think he warrants credit. Happy Halloween

[@matthewrendino4223]

I think what the movie conveys is that evil exists.....sometimes we see it and sometimes we don't...but it is always present. It doesn't die. The sequel was very good.

[@littlemyers3274]

This has to play at the end of Halloween ends! If they don’t, they missed an awesome ending.

[@akamyaku]

[@darkninja2772]

[@DomDOTgaming]

They missed an Awesome ending anyways, I love Halloween so much but Ends was terrible and disrespected Michael so much, he was a side character in his own finale.

[@SlavicDoom]

They missed it

[@darkninja2772]

@@SlavicDoom Yes! Instead they used some bullsh*t music that doesn't have anything to do with Halloween. I always enjoy the ending of H20 because it did use the OG music and I wish they would have just copied that. It just fits perfectly and ends the movie in the most nostalgic way.

[@lw3646]

Really good when you consider he wasn't a professional composer. Starting off with 1 thing, then bringing a 2nd thing in while keeping that first thing. Love it.

[@matthewrendino4223]

5/4 time is great for this movie, Mission Impossible and also for the classic composition Mars...the Bringer of War...or something like that.. I almost forget Take 5 by Dave Brubeck.

[@matthewrendino4223]

I think what really made this movie spooky was the music and the fact that "now you see him...now you don't." The clothesline scene was very creepy because if you blinked your eyes you missed seeing Michael blended in with the white towels or whatever they were. My favorite scene was the laundry room. Just what was he waiting for??? It's amazing how many times I have seen this movie and it still makes me nervous LOL. Donald Pleasance made Michael more frightening. Watch out for the quiet ones!!!

[@RickCrimes9900]

Some movies take months, sometimes years to make, but Halloween took 3 weeks and is the greatest horror movie of all time, one that influenced many

[@borsuk96]

I think that was the first movie about which you could say does people become evil or born evil? Example : case of James Bulger murderers

Just noticed that is a really odd knife. It isn't a kitchen knife, not even close, we've all been looking at it backwards, the cutting edge is facing inwards, towards his wrist, it's a wharncliffe style blade. Viking seax knives are shaped like that. You can even tell from the grip, where it's placed.
